im doing a 2-2-6, and they were dpsdpshealer, and we had an healer incoming
i’m not making a weakaura for a passive trink
so 2 guildies heal
Do you guys use the shadow ritual knife trinket? just wondering if it cucks you a bit if it gives minus haste for energy regen etc on st?
miss me with allat
in cds the proc can be pretty bad
when do you activate it? once you reach 15 and have to move? 😮
outside of them it’s whatever
well ya
optimal usage would be hold the cd forever until a movement mechanic
and constantly tap movements to balance 15 the entire fight during no movement sections
but like
don’t do this
it’s not worth it lol
is it still better than spyglass 626, harvesters edict 626, arakara 626 even if i dont optimise it? 😮
i would guess not but im not really sure tbh
lack of knowledge there is why i’m just using sac and forgetting it
personally
but u can do whatever u want
sims i think emulate a bit of fake movement for that trinket specifically
im giga overcapped on haste due to the raid neck, so im using it in raid alone, m+ i used spyglass
man has 100% haste
and
Ara kara is such a wild card with pugs 😄
i will just try the new trinket out...
General recommendation on assassination is to literally (literally) never ever look at your stats
just don’t look at them
it’s a pure waste of time
every stat is good
overcapping doesn’t exist
sim every item
ok dad please don't beat me
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
- Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
People oversweat stats then proceed
whats the downside to having a non dagger offhand
13% haste is not an issue
to play some meme race like vulpera
your class doesn’t work
cant press mutilate
it requires 2x dagger
ahhh i see
both sub and sin are
seems like sub is fine
No you are inting if you play sub without 2 daggers
whys that? i could use all the abilities
read shadow techniques
aye, thanks ! i kinda want to invest into vers next, so i dont get onetapped later on...
sub can press the spells without 2 daggers but loses a lot of damage to a talent they have or something
yeah shadow techniques is not normalized
ahhh i see
for weapon speed
what do i do when spyglass is = to waning candle in the sim though xD
Even that is really kind of fake idk, maybe in insane high keys vers becomes relevant but generally just sim for dps and vibe
flip a coin
what do you take me for, an outlaw?
yes
my healer was giving me shit for having 2% vers today haha
yeah healers are divas
if your healer has time to complain your tank isnt pulling big enough
if you took enough damage to get shit from your healer you just weren’t pressing one of our op defensives (feint mostly)
or they looked at stats before even starting the key
in which case
shoot them in the head
nah i meant my friend, i died to the infestation dot on ara 12, because i wasnt specced into elusiveness yet... and i did a little oopsie
lmao
^
yea,
even if you have
i will invest into the IQ stat next
Get the sikran neck it's enough vers for my entire gear set
spec elusiveness for 20% more dr on feint or spend crests and shit on vers for like 2
stats are fake news
liberal conspiracy
i have sikran neck, the crazy cape and 4 pieces with avoidance....
ya i started speccing into elusiveness and then he will be smiling and thats enough for me
Is wax bugged again??
worked fine last night
don’t think it was ever not bugged
with this weeks affix do we have any skill or ability to remove or dispell the debuff besides cloak of sahdows?
idk
just cloak
stoneform
but i’m not using cloak on that shit
genuinely a healer affix anyone who says otherwise is bad at the game

invite shaman, get poison cleanse totem'd --> happiness acquired
yeah more specifically it’s a shaman affix
based
yea but my pally just pops cure toxin and its gone.. was hoping rogue had something obscure like that
because hero class
oh wait
locks can too
nyope
that tweet about like
what every class can do to dispel it
is the most cope shit i’ve ever seen

half the list is unviable
with normal human builds
play dwarf
this has always been the answer though
but i’m not doing that
short ugly freaks
dwarf for boralus is very very very very very tempting
viqgoth is completely fucked
guys are we only applying 3 poisons in m+?
but i don't want to be ugly
4 poisons is usually better unless you have a strat that doesn't want crippling poison
crippling can be annoying if you are trying to group adds with iron wire
but that is pretty rare
copy
Yes it is
Also im fairly sure it still grants you the bonus lethal dose damage on bosses, even though theyre immune
glamours are roughly 1k a pop
bubbly wax fucked again?
probably
Dslice is a synthetic sim. It’s only loosely based on a dungeon
2 min boss followed by alternating small/large packs with variance in size/length
I’ll show you varying size and length in two minutes
Yeah, on bleed build that’s correct, but the bleed build is only reasonable in really low keys where you can get big sudden demise value from quick pulls, and in those situations, bone spike goes crazy and helps speed up the opener
Which is why bone spike is suggested for that build

Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for
Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime
Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer
healer and evoker

Mr consistent over here
I need to reclear
all those logs had 619 MH // 610 OH
i'm 626-626 now

look at mister stacked over here
actually
lucky
only had to upgrade 1 weapons since i got the fist
OH cost valorstones
caught in 4k
Everyone wants to look like zeratul. Package it with the dodger mask from legion
played so much assa i became crimson tempest
LOL
grim battory
theyd have to make different animations
the way mutilate works with like
wrist angle
you would just smack the enemy and whiff with ur blades
it does look fucking cool though
hello guys do you know if the apl for dungeon slice is up to date for assa rogue ?
i dont like 1st and last boss lol
i really need to reclear with a good group
most of my kills have bad timing and no full Raid buffs like warrior or monk
Do you just pug?
how should my damage breakdown in keys look? is spatter supposed to be top?
mine is CT>envenom>spatter
28 ilvl diff between weps is wild
Generally yes
casual Aotc guild
Yea
ok guess i need to look at what im doin
yea mine is about the same. just joined this guys 2 weeks ago and they are starting mythic this tuesday so well see.
this is what the parses on average look like
Banger
I wish my tanks looked this good
yeah my tanks are bangers
i swear in siege its always number 1
that looks rough.... lol
Why Does this weeks m+ affix break stealth every second
cuz frick u man
Yeah but its just a bunch of friendly casual friends
thats why
Could not be less fun
well playing with friends is always cool
How reliable is the PI checkbox on raidbots?
Just curious about the gain I'm getting since I have 4% haste rn
its completely random, sometimes it give you paladin wings
Damn thats too bad
it works
This is what I was doing to the boss in the first triangle of broodtwister. With PI. Was absolutely cranking
I wonder since I'm so high verse/mast (sub player xd) that PI value increases
Yknow, math and stuff
Sin secondary stats are pretty close to each other, agi is king.
Even with high haste PI would be good, because PI is good for sin
Yeah I guess
Anyone remembers when the rogue kick cd was increased?
df
I remember there was a ''nerf'' on rogue kicks maybe in s2 df or behinning of s3
what was it before? 10s?
what does that even mean
But it was for all interrupts, not rogue specifically
yeah i remember cd nerf as well
cuz rogue kick was ''too short'' and increased it to 15sec
kicking a cast prevents casts from that school of magic for 3? seconds
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Looking at wowhead data ye i guess youre right, but it was changed with mop release, not in dragonflight
a longer lockout prevents additional casting for longer
longer lockout = fewer kicks needed
How does this fucking metagem work? Can all my gems by onyx with mastery + other stat or do they need to be a different type?
Diff types
in single target do we play around sanguine blades at all?
!pooling
Read About Pooling
TLDR:Maintain max uptime on Envenom
- For Fatebound, Sanguine Blades is typically much better than Deathstalker. For this reason, if you can't maintain Envenom uptime anymore, you should build combo points, then reset your energy back to around 70% before maintaining again.
- For Deathstalker, try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime. Single target builds play Vicious Venoms instead of Sanguine Blades as well.
The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and use energy more efficiently for Deathstalker marks/cooldowns. Staying under 50% leads to more Envenom casts, which is more Darkest Night Procs. For Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.
oh snap thanks

what talent or passive is it that causes my combo points to refresh after opening from stealth and applying first rupture?
is cloak of shadows not working anymore?
3 straight dungeons where I press it and I swear it didn't work
physical abilities that look like spells maybe?
like not going off?
which spells does it not work on ? for you
the first boss on necrotic wake you can cloak targeted breath attack right?
no you cant cloak first boss breath
feint angle
You can dodge it with evasion
you can cloak it
You can cloak it, but you need the first second of cloak
so what exactly does it do after the first second
I dont use it for that atleast
some guy is telling me assa is unplayable rn without being night elf
how true is this
fake
he's off the zaza
he prolly thinks deathstalker is only from stealth and not counting darkest night or smthn
shadowmeld doesn't even give you a restealth half the time
unless hes pvping at the top top end level
make some quick buck
hes off a bean
when they fix the DN+ambush bug is it gonna be optimal to always open with ambush even with DN?
Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:
- Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
- Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied
As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.
Is our poison damage buffed by Chaos Brand from demon hunters?
Hey im having trouble with taking alot more damage then other classes, idk if its jsut a skill issue or is there something i can do to help reduce it. i die alot between my cloak and evasion CDs
I would try to swap Cheat Death with Elusiveness and make sure you are using feint
Everything that isn’t physical, so bleed/melee/mutilate. all nature damage/plague damage is magic
That is good to hear, Thanks for your help.
Thanks for the fast reply i will, im puching into 9/10s and am struggling to survive at points
I see a lot of talk about not crafting Siphoning stiletto dagger - Anyone able to tell me why to actively avoid it?
Np at all. From my experience in keys, elusiveness feels almost necessary.
Because its bad
It does low damage and its to a random target
better of using any other embellishment
to quote the wowhead guide it deals you damage, doesnt do aoe damage, picks a random target, and is literally just worse dps than another dagger with dawnthread or something
that makes sense then
Are there any available resources for what’s changing in 11.05
Cheers
how do you handle chain pulls?
yell at the tank
Get pissed
No
Doesnt mean you cant do it manually
Does elemental focusing lense count as an embellishment and why should I not use it
how many targets do you aim to dot up in M+ trash?
It does
Ask tank not to chain when a mob is 1 hp disallowing you to stealth
Or save vanish in pugs
is 2-3 efficient enough for energy generation
Does it make a huge difference if you get to open in Stealth in m+?
Instead of chainpulling
It’s literally just gar gar rup rup gar tempest or start with an ambush and move a gar to the end before tempest
Okay I saw someone with it on their boots and I was like am I missing something here
You need stealth for empowered garrote and spreading dots
It’s a lot of your damage in m+
And a lot of your utility
!restealth
Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:
- Garrote is roughly 10-12% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
- Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
- Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon
- While Without a Trace can allow for better vanish timings, the difference in damage provided is at most replacing a non-stealth opener with a stealth opener (you aren't necessarily getting "added" casts, just "better" casts)
- You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
So I reckon the !restealth says it doesnt add a lot to restealth
I guess once you are cozy with it perhaps, but it sure helps to be able to spread both G and R fast.
I mean you’re not gonna spread ruptures without stealthing in a big pull
You will run low on energy
Go compare doing a dungeon without restealthing
Go with
To with*
youre right ... all the math that says otherwise is wrong
Enjoy depending on sim math to play the game

I’m sure sim math takes into account your tank forcing you in combat for the last 500k hp of a mob as he chains into 10 mobs
That’s not good chaining tho
You know what sims tell you not to do as well? They say it’s a dps loss to rupture a dying mob
But depending on the scenario
It is
The energy is very good
It happens in pugs
Envenom does more damage and it’s not energy inefficient
A lot
if your tank is doing that, than hes a shit tank and your DPS is being affected more by him being shit and bad pulls and not by you not being able to restealth
Why am I building 6 combo points to do no damage
Yes
I think the difference is huge tbh
Well when they do it most of them are ignorant to the notion that it matters, or are in a hurry either with cause for the key or for no real good reason 🙂
Play with better tanks
between an early chain
But the sim!!!!
so whats your argument then? that we're better off having a shit tank?
and a singular mob chain
explain THAT math to me
No but someone was asking about restealths
You want them
They’re good
Stop changing the direction
honestly the sheer value of iron wire
is more than the damage imo
Restealth argument every week in here
open assa
sims bad I’m m+ player and so much smarter
close assa
like i know its playable but holy shit i wanna pop a blood vessel when i see a singular mob
lol
being chained at sub 10%
Going out of context pretty hard there whispyr
But sure let’s flood lfg with sin rogues who don’t silence anything

Yeah man I forgot
and low hp chains just mean your tank is bad
never give up bois, this wa the key that finally got me trinket
Wait, do we dont craft dagger as first item? the prio on embellishj is critc on 80?
why is the tank third
I don’t want free utility and damage noooooooo
Okay so you did forget your meds then
Schizo posting shit that isn’t there
I did
I’m saying people should want them
And you’re off one
Where am I off
Well of course you want stealths, you take talents that say “from stealth”
Okay
at this point u have enough sparks for both embellishments. Dawnthread for M+ and Ascension for Raids. theyre pretty equal from my experience tho
honestly if your tank is doing constant chains at low hp
you just type passive aggressively
in chat
until they fix it
Cause you’re going insane instead of just saying that lmao
I just will play muthics, should i prio it i guess then
augmentation sham
You’re still mad over the talent swapping
correct
Over the what
Its honestly up to you. I use dawnthread because Ive got double heroic daggers so ascension is a downgrade of ilvl that I didnt want to take.
I mean, you can go with 2 embellish equals?
I have no clue what you’re talking about
Yeah embellishments suck
ignore the peanut gallery Whispyr
vs not having at all
Ascension because our ST is lacking in keys
1 is a pretty big number I’ve heard
But ascension needs to ramp for 80 seconds
sure, but that means the difference between embellishments is less than 1%
yeah idk i had to craft it for raid but i really only care about keys, trying to cope
Also whispyr it is very mean to call me annoying as shit, I’m a very innocent rogue and mean NO HARM
Look at my blue color
It signifies unity
Unity for all rogues
Except outlaw
you didnt have to
It’s not supposed to be mean, it’s supposed to be accurate
Outlul is always on the outside tbh
this guy just dropped aggro
you could have crafted a no embellish dagger
tell that to my GM
if you were that down bad for weps
he threaten my family
I played with a friend for a key and he asked why I wasn’t titled the tank wasn’t letting me restealth 😂
I’m always aggro
yeah ik lmao
its like they care too much
Just press feint
but still barely perform above the aotc andys
brother
No energy
Are you really ahead of you didn’t get it day one
Shit spec
I don’t appreciate this doxing
even for last 3?
They buffed sin so it was super easy on princess
then there’s loktark
flopping his dong in table as #1 playing outlaw
for the whole class
comes in 1.5 windows?
2+
oh so either spec can
But thats cause of you got Heroic daggers, i guess in a new character 619 dagger will be prob better no?
In a future prob change into wrist
not sure if im able to simc with ascension vs with dawnthread
In the past weapons were heavily important on dmg
not sure nwo
Can you blind the little dudes on the last boss of echoes to get out of CC? I might have messed it up but it didn't seem to work.
I mean sure its a great way to get from 0 to 60 but the problem is, you're stuck doin 60 when all the coolshit happens at 120. I mean there's crit mastery daggers u can get from Delves that are just as good as Regicide and way easier to get, but I remember the struggle when I was sub 590 ilvl. I couldn't get a dagger to drop for me to save my life ... now I've got 6 littering my bank and im stuck using some sub par trinkets. The point is, don't get tunnel vision. If you're limited on crests, you may be backing yourself into a corner u dont need to
!energy
Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. You want to be playing for the highest uptime on Envenom, and not blindly spamming away all your energy. Rapid Injection, Sanguine Blades, and Vicious Venoms all play into this gameplay.
- No, haste will not make this feel noticeably better.
- 10% haste only contributes to around 2 actions per minute
- You should be playing for envenom uptime in single target
!pooling
Read About Pooling
TLDR:Maintain max uptime on Envenom
- For Fatebound, Sanguine Blades is typically much better than Deathstalker. For this reason, if you can't maintain Envenom uptime anymore, you should build combo points, then reset your energy back to around 70% before maintaining again.
- For Deathstalker, try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime. Single target builds play Vicious Venoms instead of Sanguine Blades as well.
The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and use energy more efficiently for Deathstalker marks/cooldowns. Staying under 50% leads to more Envenom casts, which is more Darkest Night Procs. For Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.
sorry if this is a dumb question i just started playing wow , can you use a sword with assassination rogue or is it daggers only? only because i got void reapers contract and the void reapers warp blade i was wondering if that would work with ass or should i swap spec to outlaw
okay could you possibly explain further ?
sorry just trying to get a grasp of things lol
you want to use the fist weapon -> go outlaw
sub and assa use double dagger
outlaw uses 1handed weapons on the MH
play whichever spec you prefer, not because you got a weapon/trinket combo
the weapon and trinket aren't so outrageously strong that you have to switch
and sin is probably in a better spot than outlaw atm
sin cannot mutilate without 2 daggers is also why it won't work
bubbling wax good alternative to whetstone ?
Bubbling Wax can once again be applied to weapons of all levels
There might still be bugs and odd things happening to it that hasn't been tested yet, but it seems to be working based on initial testing
is it good alternative tho
i mean depends what you mean “good”
weapon buffs contribute very little to overall dps
Like its worse but its also free
1% or like .8%
so its a 0.2% diff from using double whet?
double wax is like .4% mana oil is like .6% and double whetsone is like 1%
thnx

4th craft recommendations?
its good so it means its 0.1% worse
fair, might just sim
crafts eat up a lot of gildeds
you are potentially better off upgrading other pieces
awesome thnx, rlly cba wasting 1k on whetstone
I only have one myth item
30 hours of wax
i think ring is good because you can recraft the ring and upgrade your other ring for free
and ring is unlikely to be replaced by vault anytime soon
in theory yeah, in reality you want queens ring which comes drops max upgraded
say that to my 639 scalawag
you and everyone else in the raid wants queens ring tho
Another doubts
Related with echoing, can i take other talents?
seing high players they dont play it
and i dont really like it
what high players
anyone know why a raid boss hits me in stealth?
Im seeing zerocoolx for example
its usually when the tank pulls
100% er
i mean on m+s
Zerocool says not to use double vanish

I’d only use it for a very specific strat that you have planned out
For specific dungeon circumstances
Because it is a pretty big dps loss
i entered to look gameplay and just saw it
so if its pinged
i would just play the meta
er is going to the farm in 2 weeks anyway
Thought it was cause of chainpull tbh
Naw i am pretty sure it’s for on-demand blanket silences
Your tank shouldn’t be griefing you in +13 keys
I can see it being useful on amarth and maybe avanoxx if your group comp is terrible
is the wowhead for assa reliable? because I know for other classes they are sometimes outdated or not very reliable at all
ok ty
is mythic princess weapon good for m+ or a normal mythic weapon is better?
Well you need 2 daggers as both assa and sub
anyone got plater blacklist for assa please?
where can i find that mate?

@slate crown Is there a reason why in the wa pack sometimes with different talents the fok hero talent reminder doesn't pop up/
are you changing to vicious venoms?
Yes and vice versa
You don’t consume clear the witness with vicious venoms
Because I purposely do it
So, you get Good Noticer points.

And LE's pack doesn't use all this model stuff people have been complaining about hey?
Everyone updated their models
No I don't use a single model
Never did
do we ever use shiv in m+?
lots
for disenrage only or it helps with damage as well?
Buffs ur nature damage

ohh okay that makes way more sense since thats my main skill lol
missing timer by 5 seconds on a NW 12 because the ret can't dodge comet storm is kinda infuriating
Should Caustic Spatter be a top damage in overall dg ? but not too far of CT ?
is tricks really better than blackajck
I'm looking at top100 Sin logs from raid (ST) and seeing different opening sequences. Is there an "optimal" sequence for DM, Shiv, KB or can it be situational (opener/mid-fight)? I see people doing Shiv -> DM -> KB and others doing DM -> Shiv -> KB.
Is there benefit from doing mythics past 10?
Nope, just more score

You are still worthy in the eyes of god my child, say 3 hail Mary’s and thy sins be forgiven
why do people use tricks over blackjack does blackjack not have more value when mass blinding the packs
Cause they cope that tricks is valuable aggro transfer
lmfao
i feel like the 30% dmg reduction even if its short can be much better
i dont have the vision for tricks
i see every high m+ player take it but idk
Its actually painful
When my tanks in raid asks for tricks on pull because they have aggro issues sometimes
wat no way
Like my tricks does less threat than one of his spells critting vs normal hitting
but I think theyre both starting on blue or some shit? I dunno bug bosses are weird
does tricks even work if u hit first ? cos i swear they just slap me up and i get 1 shot
i dunno if i understand it correctly
oh thats a tricks feature for half a decade
Me getting assigned tricks on raz platform, not hitting tricks, and the raid leader goes “thanks whispyr that was much better let’s do that”

Bro really thought me moving 1 fok of aggro to the tank is going to stop the dev evoker from pulling aggro off of the orbital nuke they’re unloading
Getting a 30% damage reduction occasionally to the melee hits that absolutely tearing your ass apart in m+ 🚫
Getting 1/5th of a global extra worth of threat ✅
im on the tricks of trade hate train
its okay they nerfed the lvl 12 affix
dark times
that 3 mil pyre crit
I'm literally doing tank damage
worse than that even
WORSE THAN THE PROT
whispyr please tricks

Arent you on ovinax? 
Why you playing sub
its from raszageth
Ah
that was raz
I am cranking on ovi
cranking the music to drow out the voices?
Boss damage angle
But then again, its gonna look worse on progress because less execute, the kill is your time to shine even more
just wait for kyveza 60s reset pulls

court is when we start to catch up cope
I see some guilds are cranking up the wipes there
dont worry when we get to court sub will be already unalived
so all 3 specs can go in the always show me bin
I dont have a transmitter so not like I can play sub on it 
We havent racked up a lot of pulls yet, but so far it feels like melee is just payphoning and doing nothing hoping the ranged sorts out the webs properly
Atleast with the strat were using
Mix
shouldnt it be mostly red
yeah I dont know how much strat differs but 1-2 melee pairs for web isnt uncommon or?
You need an exact amount of range in red
Idk if its 4 or 6, either of those, dont remember
Sorry for the noob question, but do we still thistle at ~ 6s left on KB and vanish at ~ 3s left to garrote?
No to both of those
I'm trying to optimize my DM/KB dmg
Okay so this wont help me analyze/practice anymore then https://wago.io/PFTo3o6Ug ?
is rogue just extremely squishy now? i feel like everything hurts
has been for a while
if you cant cloak you yell 1 heal
we are very weak to dots
If feint doesnt work then were not tanky at all
Especially assa
Sub and outlaw got way more tankiness for some reason
Yeah I think I got that down 2 shiv for KB on ST and in M+ around 7s left right when only 1 charge?
yes
It just means you don't pool and you don't worry about clipping your envenom buff during cds. Once they're done, you start doing that again. Otherwise all other priorities remain the same.
Yes finish on 5+ CP unless you have Darkest Night (from Deathstalker), then you push to 7

Gotcha, or land on emp cp from ER
okay and for DM and applying poisons, I guess ideally I have rup/gar up already for the full duration of DM? Is there a gain of vanish + emp gar during DM?
!up
is the execute talent from DS any good
the stacks that detonate when the target drops to 20% one
would it not do a big nuke on a boss?
it's really undertuned
ah rip
on aoe do we only use mutilate to apply caustic spatter and outside that it's always fan of knives? if so, on how many targets we start using fan?
3 without thrown precision, 2 with
on a random top parse I just pulled up it did a whopping 0.23% of the player's damage
thanks
wow..
whats most of the damage from?
env?
for single target, envenom, rupture, kingsbane, garrote
ah ok makes sense
btw pooling isnt as prevelent due to DS right?
heard you dont have to pool as much in ST
quick question guys, if i have deathmark's envenom buff at max cb and im max -1 combo points, is it worth to mutilate and overcap cp for it or just send env then try to no overvcap?
correct
you mut
thats great tbh
on aoe if I have envenom buff do I want to spend combo points using rupture on enemies without it or it's just like envemon spam?
I'm confused with the aoe, do we want to mutidot without vanish or do we just full focus our main target
do you mean the deathstalkers mark?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
getting 5 ruptures is really important for agi buff
you get enough bleeds for energy
and then slam your main target
so rupture on 5 targets max then full prio right?
doesn't need to be 5 targets
especially without stealth
you're just wanting to be able to use your energy
every 12 or 13 i've done was omegakrangled
but i didnt care that much they came from doing 11 or 11++
again and again
literally the best part of playing rogue it's just the most amazing feeling
how much of a dps loss is it if you dont have deathstalkers mark for a boss fight
flip coin and call it a day tbh
Enough for ur grp to say ur dps is shit
There are reminder WAs
how wouldn't you have mark for a boss fight though

darkest night after a target dies
kringe
@balmy condor did I miss something? Faebound simming higher now (sorry I was working this week didn't keep up with shit)
im just very bad
fatebound was always close or better for people
also I have a flashback of farming gala dagger with my 47 runs of gb
yea and remember to proc lucky coin 40 secs into the fight

that helps a lot im told
that's not reasonable, deathstalker got way more than fatebound
if fatebound is better now
That's what I thought
it was better before
Only thing I don't like about fatebound is i like er more than cb
just double crit mut for 5 combo points every time
btw thank you whispyr, everything i know about assassination has come from your videos and guides. pushing 2400io having fun
pog(pog)

redbulls hit different
Man ass is so much fun
current ass or df law zeross
df law is unbeatable
law meaning outlaw?
ye
was it that fun?
ye
outlaw looks like blade furry and mash buttons spec to me as someone who hasnt played it
dragonflight outlaw? it was fun but whats different
see it was so fun it made zeross addicted to energy drinks
seems very similar
Btw current outlaw is better but only worse due to no acro

acro?
ooh
oh right
Also our hero tree is shit but whatever
forgot about that
ye I tried it at the beginning or exp
feels shit
Its still better tho
i honestly like both lol
Just no acro is bad
what was fun about df law
Ur a psychopath to like trickster as outlaw
5 roll into kir 
are the hero talents for outlaw that poopy
Enough of outlaw, talking about it makes me miserable the spec sucks balls
its jujst passive
lol its legit super fun
guess im a psycho
isnt trickster played with ks
ye
Have a question about ic, it applies bleeds to 3 targets total, if I have 4 or more targets and use garrotte and rupture on the target I originally opened with, will it reapply the bleeds to targets I already applied to or does it dynamically apply to the remaining targets I didn’t apply to?
gg
pretty sure it applies to the ones that dont have the bleeds yet
Wow I’ve been over complicating it by changing targets.
That’s a lot easier to play with thanks.
Yooo me too untill a week or so ago lol
if you have 6 targets you can save some globals by switching targets
at 7 it lines up again i think
but i rarely do that
!carnage
Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required
- The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
- You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets
Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.
It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.
bc you onlyl need enough ruptures for agi buff and the energy
where can I see all the commands?
Ooohhhhh, so two garrottes on opener apply to 6 targets automatically. Okay that makes sense, because well math.
I love assy wogue
yo yo, do you guys use any WA to track our things ? caustic spatter, tier set, hero talent etc
Yeah that’s mando
